The Photovoltaic Southeast Residential Experiment station (SE RES) project, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy, began operation in September 1982. As a major part of this project, three prototype utility-interactive photovoltaic residential systems were constructed at the Florida Solar Energy Center (FSEC) in Cape Canaveral, Florida. They became operational in November 1983. Primary consideration was given to investigating a variety of state-of-the-art subsystems (arrays and power conditioners), simplifying array installation and reducing cost. This paper will delineate the development and operational experience gained to date.
